There were two main 'Narcissus' models used in filming: one with the dimensions of this kit, and another that was foreshortened for long shots. There was also a tiny model that was used in the shots of the craft in its hangar. The models were made by a man called Martin Bower, who had previously worked for Gerry Anderson on Space: 1999.

I have this kit and it really is well done . I built one for my Grandson & still have another to build for myself. I plan to scratch build the screen/ vents on the back and make they are in scale and plan on cutting out that interior and scratch build another one and as I plan on lighting the interior so you be able to just see the interior behind that terrific smoked glass and what you did with the front engines I loved, definitely gonna steal that idea. VERY NICE work my friend !

This kit is actually 1:72 scale. Halcyon made this mistake and Aoshima repeated it. In fact, just look at the size of the seats and it's obvious that they are definitely too large to be 1:144! In doing my research, I went to the official Aliens references and did the math myself. This kit is exactly 1:72 scale.

Are you sure ? I would say 1/48. The seats are so huge...
@stevethefishdotnet5 жыл бұрын
@@fandru5538 In either case, the seats are certainly not 1:144. Measure the model kit and compare it in ratio to the official Alien data for the supposed size of the Narcissus and you will find that it is 1:72 scale.
@TimBailey8594 жыл бұрын
@@stevethefishdotnetThe scale was off on the actual studio model. It was originally only going to be filmed from the front view. Earlier in the movie, you can see Ripley and Dallas walking around in the cockpit from a distance. This view would be at 1:144. At the end of the movie, they decided to have close ups of the rear hatch which appears to be at 1:72. The front and back of the Narcissus are at different scales.

May I ask you something about the Glazing Putty? I saw a few modelers using it. They dilute the putty with something and use a brush to apply it and it gets immediately very smooth and shiny too. What thinner is used for the bondo glazing putty? Water? Mineral spirit? Acetone? Thanks.
